Read by millions of students over seven editions, The Norton Anthology of English Literature remains the most trusted undergraduate survey of English literature available and one of the most successful college texts ever published.
Firmly grounded by the hallmark strengths of all Norton Anthologies—thorough and helpful introductory matter, judicious annotation, complete texts wherever possible—The Norton Anthology of English Literature has been revitalized in this Eighth Edition through the collaboration between six new editors and six seasoned ones. Under the direction of Stephen Greenblatt, General Editor, the editors have reconsidered all aspects of the anthology to make it an even better teaching tool.
Free Norton Critical Editions

Contact your Account Representative for more information and the complete list of 189 titles, including such frequently assigned novels as Mark Twain's Huckleberry Finn, Herman Melville's Moby-Dick, and Nathaniel Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter, among many others. Each Norton Critical Edition gives students an authoritative, carefully annotated text accompanied by rich contextual and critical materials.
Trusted Editorial Apparatus
Norton Anthologies set the standard for editorial help that is right for undergraduate readers. The Eighth Edition demonstrates why this is so. Through the collaboration of new and seasoned editors, all apparatus has been freshly considered—period introductions and headnotes judiciously recast, thousands of annotations and glosses fine-tuned, timelines and bibliographies carefully updated, and appendixes and maps reconceived and rewritten—all with the goal of making these aids to reading and understanding as helpful as possible.
Complete Works
With each edition, the Norton Anthology has offered a broadened canon without sacrificing the complete works and major writers that teachers want to teach. Complete texts new to the Eighth Edition include the York Crucifixion play; More’s Utopia, Johnson’s Rasselas, Haywood’s Fantomina, Stevenson’s Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Stoppard’s Arcadia, and Friel’s Translations. These important additions join Heaney’s award-winning translation of Beowulf, Shakespeare’s King Lear and Twelfth Night, Milton’s Paradise Lost, Behn’s Oroonoko, Woolf’s A Room of One’s Own, and Achebe’s Things Fall Apart, among others.
Color Plates
Forty-eight pages of beautiful color plates featuring more than seventy works of art provide students with visual counterpoints to the literary works and further expand students’ appreciation of the cultural milieu surrounding the literature. Captions draw attention to important details and cross-references related to literary works in the anthology. In addition to the color plates, black-and-white engravings and illustrations by Hogarth, Blake, and Rossetti provide examples of the hybrid art of the "visual narrative."
Lecture-Length Contextual Clusters
Each literary period includes two clusters of historically or culturally significant writings organized around a theme or topic that illuminates and expands on the literary selections. Eight clusters are entirely new, and all have been reconsidered to make them easier to teach in a lecture or two.
Global Literature in English
Building on the boundary-breaking Seventh Edition, the Eighth Edition reflects the editors’ continued commitment to give full voice to global literature in English. Joining such writers as Heaney, Achebe, Rhys, Gordimer, Naipaul, Coetzee, Munro, and Rushdie are seven new writers whose origins range from Bridgetown, Barbados, to Mygore, India, to Toronto, Canada, as a well as new contextual cluster, "Nation and Language," with Brian Friel’s powerful Translations as its centerpiece.

Outstanding resources for students of literature.

Norton Topics Online
Prepared by the Anthology editors, Norton Topics Online offers twenty-eight literary and cultural topics for study—four for each period—with rich groupings of texts and images. Cross-references in the Anthology draw readers’ attention to relevant online topics for further study. Three twentieth-century topics are entirely new, and other topics have been updated. Review materials include summaries of and multiple-choice quizzes on the seven period introductions.
The Online Archive
The Online Archive offers a wealth of downloadable texts from the Middle Ages through the early Victorian period as well as audio files.

As such, it can be used to explore changing interests in the teaching of English literature over four decades.

Course Guide
Sondra Archimedes (Author, University of California, Santa Cruz), Elizabeth Fowler (Author, University of Virginia), Laura Runge (Author, University of South Florida), Philip Schwyzer (Author, University of Exeter)
Reconceived for ease of use and substantially rewritten, the Guide offers extensive help from planning a course and developing a syllabus and course objectives to preparing exams. For authors and works, the Guide entries provide a "hook" to start a lively class discussion; a Quick Read section to refresh instructors on essential information about a text or author; Teaching Suggestions that call out interesting textual or contextual features; Teaching Clusters of suggested groups or pairs of texts; and Discussion Questions. Built into the Guide is a freestanding Media Guide by Philip Schwyzer, which offers imaginative suggestions for integrating the anthology's rich multimedia tools with the text and for incorporating them into traditional or distance-learning courses.
